A long awaited report on the improved fortunes of selected mammals and birds across Europe has finally been published. The report “Wildlife Comeback in Europe: the recovery of selected mammal and bird species” written by the Zoological Society of London, BirdLife International and European Bird Census Council and commissioned by Rewilding Europe shows how some 37 carefully selected species (18 mammals and 19 birds) are increasing in number and range, largely as a result of targeted conservation projects, reduced hunting pressure, better protection for wilderness areas, etc. The report can be downloaded at: http://www.rewildingeurope.com/assets/uploads/News/Wildlife-Comeback-in-Europe/Wildlife-Comeback-in-Europe-the-recovery-of-selected-mammal-and-bird-species.pdf
